ABSTRACT
Modelling and simulation of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna on MATLAB platform is presented in form of three algorithms. The design algorithm which computer the dimensions of the rectangular microstrip patch antenna is based on the transmission line model. The cavity model algorithm analysis the rectangular microstrip patch antenna. The radiation pattern algorithm plots the radiation patterns of the antenna. The algorithms developed were used to model and simulate three different specifications of rectangular patch antenna. The results obtained are found to compare favourably with existing records.
